Rating of the best urinals for 2022

After the operation, situations arise when the patient is prescribed bed rest or begins to suffer from urinary incontinence. To serve such patients, many different types of urinals have been created, each of which is intended for use in a particular case.

What it is

A urinal is a special device in the form of a bag with a hole for collecting urine. It can be connected to a urocondom or a catheter. Used to empty the bladder in patients who do not control urination, in bedridden and postoperative patients.In some cases, using this device, urine is taken for analysis.

Kinds

Various criteria are used to classify special devices. Products can be reusable and disposable, designed separately for men and women, bedside, portable (foot) or children.

Also classified as drainable or non-drainable. According to their structure, these devices are divided into one-component, two- or three-component.

Disposable devices can only be used once, as the material from which they are made cannot be sterilized or otherwise processed. Disposable devices include devices whose structure does not allow them to be reused, for example, devices with valves.

For the production of reusable devices, special materials are used that are able to withstand repeated sterilization processes. These include latex, plastic, glass or metal products. Often these devices are used in a hospital setting. After sterilization, they can be used repeatedly, even for urine collection from different patients. Latex and polymer devices are designed for repeated use as individual products. They must also be processed and sterilized.

By design, they distinguish:

1. One-component urinal has the form of a bag with an adhesive plate - it securely fixes the device on the skin.
2. The two-piece device is also made in the form of a bag, but it is a removable device that can be attached to a urocondom or catheter.
3. The three-component device has a more complex structure. The bag contains a drain tube and an anti-reflux valve that closes the urine collection port.

Women's and men's

The shape of male devices is due to the features and anatomical shape of the male reproductive system. This can be a urinal equipped with an elongated neck, or disposable uro-conservative systems that are securely fixed on the male organ.

Women's devices have a completely different shape, with a maximum fit to the skin. For reusable use, a vessel with a wide opening, or a "duck" with a neck in the form of a narrow sheet, is used. Disposable female systems have a wide ring and a valve that controls the return of the ureter.

Drained and non-drained

Drainable devices are equipped with a special tube that allows you to remove the accumulated portion of urine from the receiving bag. This compares favorably with a non-drainable device, in which the bag must be disconnected from the catheter or urocondom each time to remove the contents.

According to the form of wearing

In hospital settings for bedridden and severe patients, bedside devices are used to collect urine. The most common urinals: standard and improved "luxury" type.

Leg devices or wearable devices are used by patients who move not only within the hospital. They must meet several requirements. The main condition is the creation of minimal comfort and freedom for the patient when moving. Their shape should be such that the device is not very noticeable under clothing. Wearable devices are divided into regular and enhanced.

Ordinary or standard, improved models

They have a straight tap, the entire bag is made of one material, without lining. Polyvinyl chloride can cause irritation, especially with continued use.But conventional wearable devices are inexpensive, and this is their main advantage.

Upgraded attachments are equipped with a T-faucet that allows you to remove the contents from the drive without the risk of spilling it. The side of the receiver adjacent to the skin has a special soft lining that protects the skin from irritation. Almost all models of this class have special ties that fix the device on the leg. There are samples that are attached to the belt.

Children's devices

The main condition for children's models is to ensure comfortable use when collecting urine from the smallest. For young parents, it is very often a problem to collect at least a minimal amount of urine for analysis. Today it has become possible to solve this issue, since there are devices even for babies. They help to collect the right amount of urine without causing discomfort and stress to the baby.

Outwardly, it resembles a small bag in which there is a small hole. With the help of soft Velcro, it can be easily fixed on the baby's skin. It is completely safe for the child and does not cause any inconvenience. It should be noted that even for the smallest, a device should be selected, taking into account the gender of the baby, since models for boys differ from devices designed for girls.

For the manufacture of bags for children's models, polyethylene is used. The bag is securely attached to the skin of the child with Velcro. All urine is collected in a bag, which has a special markup showing the amount of material collected. Standard options for children's devices can collect 100 milliliters of urine.

Velcro is a concern for many parents. They are afraid that this type of fixation of the pouch can cause discomfort, irritation and even pain.However, these experiences are in vain. The adhesive composition in the adhesive tape is completely safe for the baby's skin, it can be easily removed at any time, while the baby's skin will remain smooth, without redness and damage.

For babies, urinals are divided into three types, in accordance with the anatomical features of different sexes:

• for boys;
• for girls;
• universal.

Universal urinals have oval holes, are suitable for babies of any gender and are the most comfortable of all devices. Models designed for boys are in the shape of an elongated egg, pointed downwards. Urine collectors for girls are distinguished by a rounded shape with side branches.

Advantages and disadvantages

Urine bags have relatively recently become available to all segments of the population. These devices help to facilitate the process of collecting urine for laboratory tests and diagnosis of diseases. The main advantages of urine collection devices:

1. High level of sterility. If the child's urine is first collected in a pot and then poured into a sterile container, then microorganisms will inevitably enter the material.
2. Low cost accessible to everyone.
3. Reliability and practicality of the device. The high quality polyethylene from which children's models are made can easily take any shape, depending on the position of the child's body.
4. The anti-return valve, provided by the manufacturer, prevents the urine from flowing back and flowing out at the points of the adhesive tape through small holes.
5. Easily fixed on the body of even a sleeping baby.

There are almost no shortcomings in children's devices. On particularly sensitive skin, a slight redness may appear at the place where the container is glued.If the device is used for the first time, then it is necessary to control the behavior of the baby during the fixing of the container and its removal. If there is swelling on the child's skin or redness after removing the device, it is necessary to consult a pediatrician about the further use of the urinal.
